    I think everyone has been asked that question when we were nippers.

    So what did you want to be and did it work out for you .

    I switched between Fireman, Policeman, Priest and Popstar

    Given that I'm a pussy, I don't touch children and I can't sing; I can't see any of those working out for me.


    I think now I'd want to do something in Music though, here's hoping

    I wanted to be a chef. I fed my grandad turf one day (I was only four!) and he ended up in A&E so I have been banned from all things culinary. Forever.

    When I grow up
    I wanna be famous
    I wanna be a star
    I wanna be in movies

    When I grow up
    I wanna see the world
    Drive nice cars
    I wanna have groupies

    When I grow up
    Be on TV
    People know me
    Be on magazines

    When I grow up
    Fresh and clean
    Number one chick
    When I step out on the scene

    Be careful what you wish for
    Cuz you just might get it
    You just might get it
    You just might get it

    What I wanted to be progressed as I got slightly older.

    At 4-7 years old I wanted to be a Policeman, Fireman or a Binman.

    At 7-10 a comedian.

    10-13......an alcoholic? Everyone laughed at that one.

    Last one is probably the closest to what I am at the moment, unfortunately. No ones laughing anymore.......lol

    I wanted to be a vet..until I got a dog :confused: - the dog didn't put me off, I think I just wanted a pet!! After that I wanted to be...a lawyer, a doctor, a scientist, a psychologist, an archaeologist, a teacher...the list goes on and on, changed my mind every month. One worked out, studying psychology now :)

    I also recall wanting to be the pink power ranger for a while :cool:

    When i was younger i always wanted to do anything to do with animals. I still do. Hoping to go back to college next year to do veterinary nursing.

    I currently work with b!tches but they're the two legged ones. Its not the same. New's years resolution is to get the fck out of there. No reason why i can't, i achieved last years resolution (pay off debts and start saving for college).

    I was conditioned to believe I wanted to be a teacher/shop assistant/nurse as that's what girls did (and my mother was a nurse so obviously I'd become one).

    When I was a weee nipper I wanted to be an engineeeeeeer. Then I wanted to be a photographer, but my parent bought me a shoyte camera so I ditched that. Then it was an accountant, thank fúck that didn't work out. Then a computer programmer. Unfortunately that did work out. My ambition now is to be a professional bra. I seem to be constantly supporting tits at work so I reckon I'll be good at it.

    Failing that, I'm back into the photographry again though so here's hopin.

    I didnt want to be anything when I grew up. Cos even as a kid I knew when it came to the time that id have to work for a living, it would be uniformly shít. I was right.

    It went from a dentist, to a hairdresser to a nurse, then to a saint (but my sister ruined that one, she told me you had to be dead to be declared a saint, which is true in fairness)
    Then I wanted to be a famous actress on broadway (does anyone remember that programme on tv, the john player tops!?!?) Found out I couldnt sing, but then found out I was good at drawing so wanted to be an artist.
    I work as a designer now, not at all as cool as I had imagined but thats life I guess! :)

    A pilot. I am now terrified of flying

    Wanted to be a lion at one stage when I thought you could be anything
